Welcome back to the neighborhood everyone! I'd like to take a moment to thank our wonderful followers and weekly participants AKA our neighbors. You leave us such sweet, kind and inspiring comments every week. You made us feel so loved and appreciated! Thank you!

We're Anything Goes but this weeks optional theme is National Caffeine Awareness Month. Use something with caffeine such as coffee, tea, soda or chocolate! Or as Sara on the DT calls chocolate...crafter's fuel! Free PNG sentiment below.

Krista's first love has always been drawing. Ever since her father gave her the book "The Art of Disney," back when she was a kid. She was lucky enough to live her dream and work as an Animator for over 15 years. 10 years of which was at Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida, up until the studio closed in 2004. Since that time she and her husband settled in the midwest with their two beautifully spirited children. Krista began a new career in illustration and design. It was this new path that led her to cookie decorating. This was the perfect outlet, combining her love of baking and her true "need" to create art. This is how "Cookies With Character" was born. After working in the "cookie world" for some time, she discovered the need for images that can be easily translated to cakes and cookies. Some, by using an overhead projector called a KopyKake. This then brought the design and cookie world of hers into one shop called "Drawn with Character."
